Chapter 234: 234 Taking medicine when sick (second update)

It turns out Chu Jin is the true winner in life.

"Chu Jin, why is there a red spot on your collarbone? Is it a birthmark?" As her gaze landed on the hint of red, Mo Qingyi asked with a hint of curiosity.

No sooner had she spoken than a subtle air of awkwardness descended upon them.

The man in the driver’s seat shifted his Adam’s apple without changing his expression.

Chu Jin’s finger, which had been tying his shoelace, paused slightly, and images from the intimate night before involuntarily surfaced in his mind, causing his ears to redden almost instantly.

At that moment, she had no choice but to follow Mo Qingyi’s line of questioning, "... Yeah, it is a birthmark."

Upon hearing this, Mo Zhixuan subconsciously raised his eyes to the rearview mirror. By now, the girl had straightened up, her fair face tinted with a faint blush.

Her dimples were shallow, her eyelashes quivered gently, and every smile during her prime filled with jade-like beauty, made it difficult to look away.

His heart, once encased in ice, suddenly softened significantly.

"Chu Jin, are you feeling very hot?" Mo Qingyi asked offhandedly.

Chu Jin reflexively replied, "Not hot at all."

Mo Qingyi glanced at her with a touch of confusion, "If you’re not hot, why is your face red?"

Chu Jin instinctively touched her cheek, feeling an abnormal warmth in her palm that was slightly burning, "Well, it is pretty hot, maybe because the skirt is too long."

"That’s what I thought, I’m really warm too, the weather is too stuffy!" Mo Qingyi fanned herself with her hand, then looked up at Mo Zhixuan on the driver’s seat, "Brother, can you turn down the air conditioning? I’m boiling here."

"Sure," Mr. Mo said succinctly, reaching for the air conditioning controls, and soon a burst of cold air filled the cabin.

The car moved quickly yet steadily, its speed causing no discomfort or dizziness even during sudden sharp turns or emergency braking.

Sitting on the right side of the back seat, Chu Jin’s peripheral vision allowed her a clear view of the front.

The man driving wore a look of concentration, his chiseled profile bathed in the morning sunlight, glinting as though it had been gilded. His distinct, slender fingers tightly gripped the black steering wheel. He had a pair of beautiful hands, seemingly carved with care by the gods, long and well-proportioned, resting on the steering wheel— the stark contrast of black and white set against the wheel’s dark hue with a hint of frost that sent a shiver down the spine, yet was irresistibly enthralling.

Fifteen minutes later, the black Bugatti Veyron came to a graceful stop outside the gate of South Bridge No.2 Middle School.

Mo Zhixuan got out of the car and elegantly opened the doors for the two passengers, looking quite striking with his delicate features and tall, elegant stature. His every move exuded an aura of authority, turning him into an enchanting figure amidst the school grounds.

Inducing frequent second glances from the passing teachers and students.

Grabbing her backpack from the seat, Mo Qingyi looped her arm with Chu Jin’s and headed towards the school’s main entrance, "Brother, we’re off to school, goodbye."

"Goodbye," Mo Zhixuan nodded slightly toward them.

Their figures gradually merged with the flow of students. The crowd was dense, and although her silhouette almost vanished amid the masses, one could distinguish which one was hers in the blink of an eye.

"Hey guys, look who’s that?" Not far away, two boys of similar ages had witnessed everything. One of the heavier boys patted his bespectacled companion’s shoulder, "Wen Junxi, doesn’t the silhouette of that person resemble your ex-girlfriend?"

This was Wen Junxi’s deskmate, Wang Zihan. He had watched Chu Jin chase after Wen Junxi persistently for months. Wang Zihan had even helped Chu Jin deliver love letters to Wen Junxi, so he was quite familiar with her.

"It’s not her," Wen Junxi’s expression turned slightly ugly, "You’re seeing things."

Ever since he took a loss with Chu Jin last time, Wen Junxi still felt a trace of fear when Chu Jin’s name was brought up.

He couldn’t understand how a person could change so much in such a short amount of time.

"It looked a lot like her to me," Wang Zihan’s face lit up with excitement, "Do you know what kind of car that was? A Bugatti Veyron, and not just any, but a limited-edition model worth nine figures! There’re only three in the world, and even if you have the money, you might not be able to buy one! Someone who can afford to drive a car like that, even in Capital City, would be one of just a handful. I can’t believe your ex-girlfriend was so mysterious and powerful! Imagine, you let go of a girlfriend with such an impressive background and instead got tangled up with Liu Yike. You really missed out big time!"

At this, Wen Junxi frowned slightly, "Are you sure what you’re saying is true? Is that car really that amazing?"

Chu Jin’s circumstances at South Bridge No.2 Middle School were hardly a secret. She was from a family that had fallen on hard times, and though she was living with her uncle, the Zhao family didn’t treat her well.

Moreover, with the Zhao family’s power and status in Capital City, they couldn’t afford such a car.

Wen Junxi suddenly felt heartbroken. If he had known it would be like this, he never should have suggested breaking up in the first place.

Having such a girlfriend, he wouldn’t need to struggle for the next few decades of his life!

He could just sit back and enjoy the success.

Liu Yike was just a principal’s daughter, after all. What good could she bring him once he was out of this school?

A pampered young lady who couldn’t do anything for herself and had everything handed to her on a silver platter!

In the end, he would have to support her!

What use was a girlfriend like that? She brought no benefits to him at all!

The reason Chu Jin was unwilling to be with him was because of Liu Yike’s presence, wasn’t it?

If he was willing to break up with Liu Yike, she would definitely return to his arms!

After all, she had once loved him so deeply she couldn’t extricate herself!

Wang Zihan clapped his chest and said, "Of course it’s true, as you know, my interests are few and far between, and when it comes to cars, I claim to be number one, no one dares to claim second..."

Wang Zihan hadn’t finished his sentence when Wen Junxi, as if he had suddenly made up his mind, took off running toward that slender figure.

He left a befuddled Wang Zihan standing disheveled in the wind.

"Chu Jin, wait a minute, I have something to tell you," Wen Junxi said as he quickly ran up to the two, out of breath.

Mo Qingyi glanced at the Wen Junxi before her and whispered, "Who is this guy?"

"An idiot, don’t mind him, let’s go," Chu Jin said, prepared to walk past Wen Junxi with Mo Qingyi in tow.

Different from her usual white-shirt-and-black-pants attire, Chu Jin wore a tender yellow dress today that was a tight-fitting waist-cinched style, outlining her delicate figure. That waist, already slender, seemed even more so now.

With her rosy lips and pearly teeth, her beautiful features were so perfect they seemed as if she had stepped out of a painting.

Wen Junxi was almost completely stunned.

"Wait a moment, I really have something very important to tell you," Wen Junxi regained his senses and stepped in front of them to block their way.

Suppressing the urge to get physical, Chu Jin took a deep breath and said, "Spit it out!"

It was time for school, and there were many students coming and going. Many of them slowed down as they passed by, their eyes moving over the group and revealing gossipy expressions.

High school life was dull enough as it was, so naturally, they wouldn’t pass up such an entertainment.

Moreover, all three of them were very good-looking, creating a rather pleasing scene for the onlookers.

Wen Junxi took a deep breath as if making a significant decision, "Chu Jin, I’ve thought it over. I’ll break up with Liu Yike immediately and get back with you! How does that sound, are you happy?"

Having said that, Wen Junxi looked at Chu Jin expectantly.

He had thought that Chu Jin’s face would show some sign of joy, but unfortunately, there was not the slightest fluctuation on her distinct features.

Chu Jin never knew a person’s face could be this thick!

"You’re sick, take medicine," Chu Jin stated calmly, ignoring Wen Junxi, then walked toward the academic building with Mo Qingyi.

"Junxi, what’s your relationship with that guy just now?" Mo Qingyi asked curiously, her face alight with the gleam of gossip.

As per her years of experience consuming romance novels, the relationship between Junxi and that man was definitely not a simply pure school relationship.

They must have shared a past unknown to others.

"It’s nothing. I was just too young and didn’t know better when I met the wrong person..." Chu Jin hadn’t finished her sentence when her wrist was suddenly grasped by someone.
